WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1994 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD The cost of mail delivery ust deliver the mail. That was our first reaction to a survey J distributed recently by Canada Post Corporation, which is looking tor feedback from business customers on existing and potential services. But second thoughts about the questionnaire lead us to a funda­ mental question about the post office: Is the delivery of letter mail a necessary function of government? If the answer is no, the logical thing to do is privatize the post office. But if the answer is yes, which it will be from those who would defend government involvement in transportation services and communications in the name of national unity, then how do we pay for it? Historically, the Canadian postal system has been subsidized by Mon, D*dj Look! the federal government.

The post office has recorded a profit in three of the last five years. But how much of Canada's Post profit has been generated at the expense of the private sector as the corporation explores new means of complying with the wishes of its shareholder, the Canadian government? Aggressive forays into the advertising field in recent years have produced larger volumes of household flyers (the bane of environ­ mentally-conscious householders), and stiffened competition for hundreds of newspapers and other publications. And there are 'if strong indications that Canada Post intends to branch out into oth­ er areas, areas which arguably fit in with mail delivery but threaten to further pit private and public operations against each other. Among the initiatives under consideration are: • Photocopy and fax services. • Sale of office supplies. • Writing,and graphic art production and printing of advertising Apathy, greed threaten island as messages. • Other desktop publishing and printing services. commercialism, tourism prevail The post office itself cannot be faulted for pursuing these poten­ tial revenue sources, having received the blessing of the federal Shame on you Salt Spring ready dead. government to do so.
